Planet Bollywood - Stoke-on-Trent

I went to this restaurant tonight and it was a disappointing experience. The Onion Bhaji starter seemed like it was bought from a store and was overly spiced. The chicken Malayan main dish was terrible, lacking in flavor. It was surprising to have a Malayan dish with no taste at all. I also tasted my husband's tikka massala and it tasted identical to the Malayan dish. We couldn't wait to leave and both of us were extremely disappointed. We paid £50 for a meal that was not worth it at all. We will not be returning.

We visited on a Saturday night for our Christmas work do and had a fantastic time. The food was fresh, hot delicious. We were looked after wonderfully by all the staff who were attentive and friendly. Extra points as we were a larger, slightly tipsy, very disorganised party and they were so patient and helpful with us! Several of us have said we will definitely be back to eat again as the food was so good and the atmosphere service were great.

Booked in advance, on arrival you are always made feel welcome buy everyone, staff always polite and friendly, Even though it was very busy our Order was taken and food arrived at the table in good time, fresh, hot and plenty in the bowl also tasted amazing, if your not sure what to choose Taz will give you advice and adapt your order to suite your taste. Big thanks to all the team, that’s why your our number 1 restaurant choice.

One of the best restaurants we’ve ever visited absolutely marvellous! Staff were incredible so welcoming and kind, the food was out of this world one of the best we’ve ever tasted so much flavour in just one dish. Could not put a single fault in anything from the moment we entered, have never met such friendly staff before helped us with everything that we needed and ensured we got given everything we had asked as well as making special requirements for our daughter as she has allergies. Would 100% recommend coming here and bringing the family will become regular customers! :

We had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while, so we decided to take a friend along. However, we were disappointed with our experience. We had booked a table upstairs for 7pm, but upon arrival, we were asked to wait for a table. A group of men who had not booked were taken upstairs immediately. Despite requesting mild dishes for myself and spicy dishes for my friends, we were seated downstairs in a cold area. The waiter was pushy and insisted on serving us poppadoms before we had even ordered. When our meals arrived, the waiter made a mistake with our orders, giving my friend a chicken balti instead of the lamb she had requested. The food was too spicy for me, so we ended up swapping dishes. Despite our certainty that both dishes were chicken, the waiter and boss argued that my friend had received lamb. We were charged for the more expensive dish, even though we were confident in our order. Despite our usual visits to this restaurant after work, we will not be returning.
